I've significantly rewritten this question to make it also apply to all other variations of the puzzle and to remove the misleading and wrong identification of one sign as death.

@Simon Thanks for the last combination, finally we have all solutions here.

Does anyone else find this puzzle kind of annoyingly misleading? When you read the Runes of Power books, it makes it sound as though you're looking for symbols beyond the four in this answer. So I kept looking for symbols that resemble a scythe and a lightning bolt for the "Third encrypted rune combination" before finding out they don't even exist.

About the amphitheater:
Let's assume we don't have a solution. How do we solve the puzzle?

Clouds are like bees: this one is pretty obvious: sky and animal.

When bells ring: more or less obvious, since when = time, but could also be a reference to "For whom the bell tolls", ergo, death. Still a bit of a long shot.

Divertimento! is haunting me, though.
It means "fun" in italian, and it also is a musical genre, generally composed for a small ensemble, this also is a light-hearted, good-mood music, also far away from the notion of death.

So I moved on and did a bit of letter swapping and realized "Divertimento" contains the letters of the word Morte in italian, meaning death. That is the best I could get so far.

Also, Mozart wrote his divertimento (K. 522, "The Musical Joke") 8 days after the death of his muse bird, Baptista. This one is really funny.

Since Fabian stated that Divertimento does not mean death, I need to correct my efforts in that direction and stay with art (music).
